Chapter 4: the audition
(Serena's POV)
It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday… The irritating voice of Rebecca Black crooned on the radio. It's been three days since I got my powers, and I've been living with my dad since then. Anyway, I was excited because I was going to audition for the talent spot at the Tokyo Ai Hotel. I flew all the way to school and was immediately greeted by Ichigo, Reiko, and Mia. "Listen, otaku!" Ichigo yelled. "Just because your dad's Danny Phantom doesn't mean you rule the school!" "Oh yeah and being rich means you rule…" I said sarcastically. "EXCUSE ME?" Ichigo screamed "Are you questioning my authority? My dad is the Prime Minister of this country, Thank you very much!" A crowd surrounded us. "Fight! Fight! Fight!" the commanded. "What's going on here?" yelled my homeroom teacher, Watanambe-sensei. He rushed over and pulled Ichigo out of the way "Hasugawa-san, we need to have a talk…"

I was hanging out with my friends Tohru and Raj at lunchtime, barely eating my burrito. "What's wrong, Jay?" Tohru asked. "I think I'm in love with Serena…" I said staring off into space. "Who Serena Fenton?" asked Maulik. "Yes" I said dreamily. "Then why don't you just break-up with Ichigo and start dating Serena?" asked Tohru. "Because then she'll think I'm only dating her because she's a superhero." I replied "I want her to know I love her for who she is, not her glamorous super heroine persona."
(Vinessa's POV)
I was having a hard time processing the fact that my former nemesis was now grown and had a child – not to mention the facts that he got his powers back and that I was now a woman. I honestly didn't feel the same as I used to. After Jack Fenton left me alone in space, I felt guilt overcome me. And I think the higher level of estrogen in my body wasn't helping. At this time was still in the prison cell. I changed into my ghost form. "FREEZE!" said an officer. "You're not escaping on your life, Plasmius!" "How did-?" "I tested your DNA and called the police." Someone said. I looked up to see a tiny man in a lab coat. "My name is Akira Sakai. You landed naked on the grounds of Tokyo University. I tested your DNA after bring ing you in, and discovered that you were the man wanted in two worlds." "Two worlds?" I stammered "Yes," a familiar voice said. I turned around. It was Skulker, the ghostly bounty hunter. "You nearly destroyed my world when you moved that asteroid." He said "Now you're coming with me." He dragged me into the ghost zone and threw me in a cell on his island. And then, to my surprise, I broke down and cried like a Disney Princess. But then I saw Akira. "How did you-?" "I followed you" he said "Come, I may be able to offer you a new life." So, with tears in my eyes, I grabbed his hand.

"OW!" I screamed Dad was training me the art of Krav Maga (A/N Krav Maga is an Israeli martial art that is illegal to teach civilians in several countries) "Dad!" I protested "I have to head to Tokyo Ai in an hour! When will we be done?" "We're done now." Dad said "Now go get into something pretty and show your stuff at the Hotel bar." I hugged him. "Thanks dad." I said "I love you." "I love you too." He said back.

It took Serena half an hour to get ready. She flew over to the Tokyo Ai Hotel and took her position.
Meanwhile, Akira and Vinessa were heading over to that very same hotel to watch the talent show. Moria came on Vinessa's phone. "You're in luck, Miss Plasmius." she said "Mr. Phantom's daughter is performing here tonight." That's what reminded her of her mission. But, to tell the truth, she wasn't sure she wanted world domination anymore. "You remember the mission! Now, after her performance, go backstage and kill her." "Y-yes boss." Vinessa said. After getting off the phone, Moria cackled. "What that waste of a lower life form doesn't know is that I already took away her powers!"
An announcer got on the stage. "And now for the youngest in her musical debut – Miss Serena Fenton!" the audience clapped as Serena got onstage. She began to sing:
Plug in the mic/ open the curtain./ Turn off the lights/ I'm through rehearsing/ The feeling ignites/ I'm in control/ the crowds in the palm of my hands/ all my fans yeah/ What is the truth?/ what's an illusion?/ you're searching for proof/ but are you certain?/ whatever you see…/ is what you get/ if words paint a pictuture/ then I'll betcha/ I can getcha yeah/ I'll make you believe in me/ I can be what you want me to be/ tonight is the night/ when I'll make you see/ that I can be anything anything anything anything/ you want from me…
Serena went backstage and was greeted by not only her dad, but her mom and Evangeline as well. "MOM!" Serena shouted as she ran towards her. They hugged. "You're back! How was Liberia?" "It was nice," her mom said "But it's good to be back with you and your dad." Suddenly, a noise came from behind the curtain. Vinessa came out, smiling innocently. "Hi!" she said "My name is-" "Vinessa Plasmius" Danny said "Formerly Vlad plasmius." "how did you-?" Danny changed into his ghost form. "I told Persons magazine all about your plan to conquer the earth after I fixed the damage you did." He said through gritted teeth. He grabbed Vinessa and threw her across the room. "How does it feel being on the other spectrum, huh?" "Oh, yeah well, take this!" Vinessa tried to change form, but couldn't. She let out a large wail like Dil Pickles on Rugrats. "Alright, I'll admit it!" she cried. "I was wrong! I was wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong!" Vinessa began to sob, "You were right… I do need to see a therapist…" "I'll take it from here." Said Angeline, and they both went into the distant relms of the ghost zone.
